Bruce Springsteen gave the keynote speech at the 2012 South by Southwest festival. One topic: The influence that 1960s folk-rock band the Animals had on him. Part of the mid-1960s British Invasion, the Animals were popular during Springsteen’s teenage years. Springsteen plays a portion of “We Gotta Get out of This Place,” a song that captures many of the same images and emotions that Springsteen has highlighted in his own music.
